We may have been quiet, but a lot has been happening!
Although we have not had any new pictures or words, it doesn't mean that we have been slacking! Since the last post we have held a number of fundraising events and our AGM, and have been raising both money and awareness of the charity.
The 3rd Gala Event was held at the Hilton Croydon again this year and the attendees were treated to excellent food and entertainment. A total of just over £1800 was raised for our charity.
The residents of Crowhurst Village in East Sussex again were very generous in their support when we provided the refreshments at the Village Market. Another £200 to add to the pot.
We held a music quiz in May at the Fairfield Halls in Croydon. The teams had to grapple with music from various eras, and it was a tight contest, with my team being robbed of victory by 1 point! Better luck next time! £255 to add to our funds.
Our AGM in June was attended by many of our dedicated supporters and Jen and Reuben (two of our trustees) who visited Chilubula in December, were able to give them a real flavour of how things are progressing there through pictures and words.
We have been very fortunate in the last couple of weeks to have received much support from the staff and students at Sydenham School and the staff, students and Governors of Ashburton Community School. Sydenham School have donated enough coins and notes to pay for the Sports Day that Jo and I will be organising this August in Chilubula. The staff and students of Ashburton Community School will be collecting money from an 'own clothes day' and also handing in their old schools jumpers to donate to the children in Chilubula. The Governors have been very generous in providing some financial assistance to help fund our feeding and educational programmes for the next year. We feel privileged to have such loyal supporters.
Thanks to everyone for all they do for the charity.
